Hi everyone

Are there any popular package registries that already contain a bunch of Wasm components or modules?

There's a number of Wasm components published to wa.dev, but not too discoverable yet. Good things coming soon. Is there something in particular you are looking for?

We'd like to do an analysis of WebAssembly workloads in registries to see if we can already find security patterns/antipatterns or gain other insights. So we'd like to have an as-large-as-possible set of publicly available components.

Is there a way to get the full list of components on wa.dev?

Yeah, send me a DM to discuss

The wasmer registry https://wasmer.io/products/registry was pretty large, last I looked. Probably hasn't gotten any smaller since then.

@mako yass note that the Wasmer registry doesn't contain components. Instead, it contains proprietary bundles of core wasm modules with a Wasmer-specific manifest format. My understanding is that it's now entirely focused on targeting Wasmer as a runtime, but I haven't really followed that part

Yeah, that must be true about the wasmer registry, as it does not yet support components so the registry wouldn't make sense with them.
